I am convinced that I must have immediate access to large bodies of water in my daily life as Water is the vitality of our life's blood, nature's gold a maternal Family surname. I thrive from participating in Sacred water initiatives and water preservation campaigns. Mami Wata's powerful transcendental influence - mermaids, underwater human-like creatures to the Starbuck's logo, yet equally concerned about the Gulf Coast's erosion, "man-made" lakes and bottled water?! Nevertheless, water starts my day with cleansing ori and blessing my steps, saluting the 4 directions and pouring for the divine, thanking the plant and animal kingdom and to refresh Ancestral libations - iba'se.

Wezolo!- 2 Mami Wata sightings in one day! - Oakland 12th St Bart plaza and upon the entrance of LDG Carnaval rehearsal at Abada Capoeira, San Francisco founded by Mestre Cigarra Marcia Treidler.
